Dear Reader
Welcome to Issue One of ‘Behind the Seams’ -
a quarterly portal into TRAID’s work to shrink
the nations fashion footprint. It’s hard to
believe its 10 years since TRAID launched as
a charity with a mission to fight global poverty
by clothes recycling in the UK. But, here
we are!
In 1999, TRAID began with a small network
of clothes recycling banks, five shops and a
cunning plan to inject a much needed dose of
desirability, and dare we say it, fashion, into
second hand retail. Today, ethical fashion and
charity shop chic is everywhere and TRAID’s
latest retail adventure has seen our flagship
store opening in Camden, and TRAID short-
listed for Environmental Charity of 2009 by
the Charity Awards. The magic of TRAID is
that our team of shop staff, educators, design-
ers, sorters and drivers sustainably turn
thousands of tonnes of unwanted clothing into
money to support projects improving the lives,
health and income of people living in some of
the poorest regions of the world.
By reducing clothes waste going to landfill,
TRAID has raised nearly 2 Million Pounds
to fight global poverty and this year, we are
committing half a million pounds. None of
this would be possible without your support –
donating to TRAID and shopping at TRAID.
Thank You.

Looking lovely in a fabulous asymmetric ruffle

Laverne joined TRAID’s staff and partners
across recycling, international development
and ethical fashion to celebrate the opening of
TRAID Camden - our tenth shop in our tenth
year. Located in the heart of Camden, this flag-
ship charity shop boasts a gorgeous eco inte-
rior using reclaimed timber, fabrics and metal,
as well as shop fittings donated by Timberland.
DJ Beef Boogie On (aka Jack Hemingway)
blasted out vintage disco mayhem and nu-disco
loops inspiring some of us to work it on the
shop floor.
After speeches by Lauren and TRAID Chair
Ian Hagg, guests toasted 10 years of TRAID’s
fantastic work to change the face of charity
retail, reduce landfill by reusing clothes and
raise funds to fight global poverty. Special
thanks to Daas Organic Belgium Beer and to
Luscombe Organic Drinks for donating the
delicious drinks that kept our guests ethically
refreshed! Shop sustainably at TRAID Camden
for the best in preloved clothes, shoes and
accessories including a large section devoted to
TRAIDremade, our recycled fashion label.

TRAID turned out to be the ethically dressed
bridesmaid rather than the bride at the prestig-
ious Charity Awards 2009 where we were
shortlisted for the Environmental Charity
of the Year Gong.
The gala presentation was held in Battersea
Park on June 11th. TRAID staff gasped in
horror as former Mayor of London Ken Living-
ston called us ‘TRIAD’, somehow mistaking our
work to fight global poverty through clothes
reuse and recycling for a Chinese underground
criminal network!
TRAID recovered enough to warmly applaud
the category winners BTCV, the conservation
volunteering charity that celebrates 50 years
of improving the environment.
Timberland has teamed up with TRAID to
encourage its customers to shop more sustain-
ably! Change Your Wardrobe has launched in
nine Timberland shops in London. Bring your
good quality unwanted clothes and shoes to
a participating Timberland store, and as a
reward for recycling, the lovely folk at Timber-
land will give you a fantastic 20% discount off
any new purchase. The story doesn’t end there!
TRAID then resell your unwanted clothing
in its 10 fabulous charity shops. The profits
raised will support a TRAID funded project
to improve the livelihoods and health of cotton
farmers in Benin, West Africa.

‘Behind the Seams’ is a unique Education
Resource Pack introducing secondary school
students to ethical issues in the fashion industry.
Devised and produced by TRAID, the pack inves-
tigates the social and environmental impacts of
the fashion industry, and addresses the lack of
educational resources tackling these issues.
Lyla Patel, TRAID’s Head of Education said,
“By going behind the seams of the fashion
industry, TRAID challenge students to inves-
tigate the impact their clothes have on the
environment and people’s lives. TRAID work
with thousands of young people every year
and successfully use fashion as a way to raise
awareness and encourage debate about recy-
cling, the environment and global poverty.”
Beautifully designed and easy to use, the
pack contains 10 Lesson Plans, posters
and factsheets. ‘Behind the Seams’ costs
£45 (excl P&P). Please order by email
[email protected] or contact
Lyla Patel on 020 8733 2591.
Charity and eco fashion hero TRAID is running
free clothes remaking and reuse workshops in
London throughout 2009, TRAID’s tenth year!
The next monthly workshop is taking place
on Saturday August 22 from 11am – 3pm at
TRAID’s shop in Shepherd’s Bush.
Bring along a garment that you no longer
wear and the TRAID team will help you to
remake it into a gorgeous and unique piece.
At recent workshops we have cut, ripped and
hemmed to turn frumpy dresses into cheeky
Ra Ra skirts, appliquéd cherries over corporate
logos, replaced broken zips, embellished using
big buttons and shiny beads, turned jeans into
shorts and more...
Lyla Patel, TRAID’s Head of Education said,
“We already have so much clothing that we
don’t wear. Counter this by basking in the glow
of having made or mended something yourself.
The techniques learned at our workshops will
make clothes last longer which in turn reduces
landfill and protects the environment. You’ll
also learn some of the remaking skills our
recycled fashion label TRAIDremade uses to
create gorgeous garments out of old clothes
and textiles that would otherwise be thrown
away. It’s the best antidote to the high street.”

“Sustainability is one of the driving forces of
my working philosophy and way of life. Delv-
ing in TRAID’s excellent shops gives me the
freedom to travel through time, style and inspi-
rations. I also think that it’s much more fun to
get out of the moulds and fashions that society
wants to impose on people.” Emilia Telese
To mark TRAID’s tenth anniversary, we would
like you to feature in a photographic exhibition

TRAID showed over 100 people how much fun
sewing without machines can be when it took
over Wayne Hemingway’s kiosk for a day of
transforming waste into things you want to
keep. Located on the South Bank, KiosKiosK
is a small free solar powered retail space for
budding entrepreneurs and creative minds
to sell their products and ideas this Summer.
Designed to bring ‘serendipity’ (the stumbled
upon discovery of something fortunate) to
our increasingly bland high streets, TRAID
took over the kiosk for a Hand Sew Sunday
event making gorgeous accessories includ-
ing corsages and vintage hair bands from
fabric scraps. Some of our favourite recycled
creations were the soft toys made by children,
especially the marvellously bonkers looking
owls. To find out more about KiosKiosK visit

TRAIDremade is an environmentally conscious
fashion label launched in 2002 by TRAID. Our
team design and produce gorgeous clothing
for women and men using second hand textiles
that would otherwise be thrown away.
Each piece is a complete one-off and sustain-
ably remade by hand at our workshop beside
the seaside in Brighton. The profits raised
from every TRAIDremade sale is spent on
projects to fight global poverty and protect
the environment.
Because TRAIDremade’s clothes are made by
hand from recycled fabrics, each piece is a com-
plete one off. The garments featured are avail-
able in a range of colours, fabrics and prices.

TRAID has donated £180,000 to improve the
livelihoods and health of 2,100 cotton farmers
in Benin, West Africa, by converting to organic
cotton production.
The project will establish an environmentally
friendly cotton farming model that does not use
pesticides, improves yields and secures buyers
for the organic cotton Benin’s farmers grow.
TRAID has funded the Pesticide Action Network
UK to deliver this project: www.pan-uk.org
TRAID has donated £52,846 to build three
Embroidery Centres supporting 2,000 women
embroidery home workers in Delhi, India, to
secure better wages and fight exploitation.
“Since joining the centre, I get regular and
better-paid work...double the amount I used
to. I can now pay for two of my children to
attend school. I now go to places and meet
other women in my community - I used to be
very isolated and unable to leave the house.”

TRAID has donated £40,751 to transform the
lives of 4,000 people in drought prone Kenya,
Africa, by helping farms to improve water and
food security by adapting to climate change.
“Thanks to the sand dams and TRAID’s support
we now have access to water during the dry
season for a longer period for drinking, water-
ing animals and tree seedlings. We are now
able to spend more time terracing our farms,
leading to better yields.” (Kyalo Matheka,

TRAID has donated £147,000 to empower
people living with HIV/AIDS in Malawi, Africa,
to launch micro solar businesses building solar
powered devices like lanterns and radios.
“Before I started the micro solar business I built
a house but had no money to buy iron sheets to
finish it. I used the profits I made to finish my
house and my family is very happy now.” (John

clEAR OUT fOR TRAID! The clothes we waste.....fashion faux pas and
impulse buys are clogging up the national
wardrobe on a hitherto unknown scale. On top
of this, the UK public sends over 1.2 Million
Tonnes of clothes and shoes to landfill every
year. TRAID could be putting this to good use
to protect the environment and fight global
poverty! Help us by decluttering, bagging up
and then donating your unwanted clothes and
shoes to TRAID.
You can donate at one of our 950 Clothes Recy-
cling Banks across the UK, or over the counter
in a TRAID shop. The clothing industry con-
sumes vast quantities of natural resources
which we can help to minimise by saying no
to cheap fashion and reusing more. Find out
where your nearest TRAID bank or shop is
by visiting www.traid.org.uk
Below–top: Donated shoes waiting to be sortedBelow–bottom: Some of the 3,000 tonnes of clothing TRAID recycles every year
Every time you use a TRAID bank to recycle
your unwanted clothes and shoes, you are
creating LESS WASTE, while giving TRAID
the clothes we need to raise MORE FUNDS.
It’s a brilliantly simple formula. Last year,
TRAID’s 950 clothes recycling banks diverted
over 3,000 tonnes of textiles from landfill
(LESS WASTE). This year, the resale of your
unwanted clothing raised half a million pounds
to support international development projects
(MORE FUNDS). With TRAID, clearing your
wardrobe really does help to change lives.

bank or call 020 8733 2585.

Wayne, what are you up to?
I’m spicing up our high streets.
You’ve supported TRAID since 1999. Why?
We started off in business selling second hand
clothes, customising them etc; that’s how Red
or Dead started. I have always worn second
hand so the charity TRAID is a natural fit.
Three reasons to wear second hand.
Cheap. Individual. Sustainable.
Which is your favourite TRAID shop?
The warehouse. Our office is near there and
can sometimes get to pick stuff from the
sorting belt – naughty but nice (ed. we don’t
condone this behaviour).
Who or what is your fashion inspiration?
My mum for making her own clothes, Mrs
H for being a great designer + carrying off
second hand better than anyone.
Worst fashion mistake, go on, you can
tell us…
At Red or Dead we once designed one legged
leggings and got quite excited when we sold
a pair, only to see them returned by the lady’s
husband who said it was a stupid idea. He was
probably correct!!

After a 36 hour journey, we arrived in Fort
Dauphin, in the south of Madagascar to find
out more about how TRAID funds made to
local NGO Azafady are making a difference
to people’s lives. It’s absolutely beautiful here
and the spiky strange forests in the south are
home to some of the world’s most diverse and
fragile ecosystems.
I’ve worked at TRAID for ten years and we’ve
funded many of Azafady projects across health,
education and basic sanitation. Like many peo-
ple working for a charity, I’m more used to see-
ing the fruits of funding via reports from our
partners. Meeting the staff and talking face to
face with people benefiting from TRAID’s fund-
ing undoubtedly brings the projects to life.
Right now, TRAID is funding a project called
Votsotse. It’s a big project with many part-
ners working together to improve nutrition
in Madagascar, especially among pregnant
women and nursing mothers. We travelled to
the town of Amossary in the Anosy region of
Madagascar to see the project in action.
We were greeted by the Chief Cartier and local-
women who gathered to sing a song in praise
of breast feeding – it was such a fantastic and
overwhelming welcome. We met with Malagasy
nutritional practitioners showing mothers how
to weigh and monitor the weight of their chil-
dren to spot the signs of malnutrition early on.
The project team is also establishing nutrition
committees where villagers can meet to learn
how to improve the diet of their families by
cultivating and cooking new foods as well as
receiving house visits to promote more nutri-
tional awareness and understanding.
Talking to the mothers who are benefiting
from this funding had a huge impact on me.
Dry facts and statistics about the impact of
poverty in Madagascar became real to me –
especially the very high infant mortality
rate of one in ten children. At the same time,
I saw that positive change through the kinds
of innovative development work TRAID
funds and advocates for is not only possible,
but happening.

Enedina Columbano, TRAID’s Head of Retail and Operations reports back on her trip in October 2008 to Madagascar to see the difference TRAID funds are making
I still clearly remember the first thing I bought
from TRAID. A brown vintage leather bomber
jacket that was an absolute bargain. It was
from that day on my love of all things TRAID
began. I always made a point of ‘popping in’
in the hope of catching another unique bargain
and it never failed to disappoint. I quickly
became the envy of my friends for always
having a quirky new item which they couldn’t
believe came from a charity shop.
I also admired TRAID’s vision of raising money
for international development projects through
clothes reuse, and became a volunteer at the
Shepherd’s Bush branch after completing my
fashion degree. I took on lots of roles in store
including sorting through donations, tagging
stock, working on the shop floor and liaising
with customers.
I like knowing that what I’m doing is helping
fight poverty - which is not something you
can often say about fashion. In a time of fast
fashion and excessive consumption, I whole-
heartedly support and respect TRAID’s mission,
and it has even managed to pull me away from
the lure of the high street and Primark! With
TRAID’s newest (and shiniest) shop opening in
Camden, I successfully applied for a full time
position as a Shop Assistant. See you on the
shop floor.

What is TRAID?
TRAID (Textile Recycling for Aid and Inter-
national Development) launched as a charity
in 1999 with a mission to PROTECT THE
ENVIRONMENT and FIGHT GLOBAL POV-
ERTY by reusing and recycling the UK public’s
unwanted clothes. TRAID reduces waste by
preventing unwanted clothes going to landfill
(over 25,000 tonnes to date) via our network
of over 950 TRAID Clothes Recycling Banks.
TRAID then resell your donations in our 10
charity shops raising substantial funds to sup-
port international development projects. This
year, we’ve committed half a million pounds.
What happens to the donations made
to TRAID?
TRAID experts hand sort and grade all dona-
tions checking for quality and damage. The
crème de la crème is resold in TRAID’s 10
shops (regularly cited by the press as some of
the best charity shops in the land). The rest is
sold on to wholesale for reuse and recycling.
All the cash we make from reselling unwanted
clothing support our charitable objectives.
Is TRAID a commercial clothes recycler?
No! TRAID is a UK registered not for profit
charity (297489). All profits raised are
ploughed back into TRAID’s work to protect
the environment and fight global poverty.
Please recycle your unwanted clothes with
a charity (TRAID!) where all the profits raised
support the charity’s work.
What’s TRAIDremade?
It’s TRAID’s ethical fashion label creating
gorgeous handmade garments exclusively
from textiles that would otherwise be thrown
away. Set up in 2002, TRAIDremade creates
two collections a year providing fashion lovers
with an antidote to the high street. You can
buy TRAIDremade in our TRAID Camden and
TRAID Brighton shops.
What sort of Education work does TRAID do?
Loads! TRAID’s education team works directly
with thousands of young people in schools and
communities every year to unpick the issues
across clothes waste, reuse, climate change,
ethical fashion and global poverty. Contact
TRAID’s Head of Education Lyla Patel to find
out more about the range of workshops,
assemblies and education resources we offer.
